Julie Lynn formed Mockingbird Pictures in 1999, with Bonnie Curtis joining in 2012 after more than 15 years working with Steven Spielberg.

Together they produce film and television across a wide variety of genres, with movie budgets that range from under $1 million to over $100 million. They have produced for brand-new filmmakers as well as experienced, award-winning directors.

Julie worked as a First Amendment lawyer before embarking on a film career as a creative executive for producer Mark Johnson..

They first partnered under the Mockingbird Pictures banner after producing the Academy Award\\xae-nominated Albert Nobbs in 2012.

They are still thinking about what non-profit work they are going to cook up together after they retire from filmmaking \\u2026 but they are hopeful that day is still many years away.

They are most proud of all the \\u201crepeat customers\\u201d amongst their collaborators, as well as the fact that they were able to successfully take their families on a joint vacation, because they clearly don\\u2019t see enough of each other at work.

This week, Bonnie and Julie shine on light on:

  • Creating a producer\\u2019s group

  • Putting trust in your filmmakers

  • How their unique partnership functions
